VanessaE: SOme of us don't use it though. Rule zero of web design is to degrade gracefully. A web page should function if possible without JavaScript, and should definitely function without images and CSS.

For example, when you are comparing branches, and you want to switch both the head and the base, You have to unlock the dropdowns, JavaScript only lets you flip one, then locks it, and you have to unlock it again.

That's because you haven't thought it through as well. The options are to not use the service, which means not submitting bug patches, or using the service anyway, and being annoyed. The options are indeed simple, and I've made the only logical choice.

A sort of have Flash double blocked, though not intentionally. NoScript, which I use for JavaScript blockin, also blocks Flash. Then Gnash, which I use to play Flash, asks permission before playing it. None of this auto-start stuff.

the students don't really need huge areas to work in, i would prefer that they can say walk from north america to south america without taking a real long time.....but long enough to get a sense of distance

I use a random USB game controller that I picked up. I haven't tried it with Minetest yet (I was still considering how to do item selection with limited buttons), nor have I tried it with my new operating system yet.

another way to do it would be to just search a large box for trunks, find the lowest one in the set, remove all trunks within a given radius and height of that root, then remove all leaves that were within a certain radius of a removed trunk

a tree-cadastre with all the trees of the map and their shape sounds cool and could be used for many things, like felling or the problems of magen griefing or leafdecay along chunk boundaries but would probably get very large soon. (comment to discussion 40min ago)
